Washington National Opera 2011-2012
Jules Massenet's Werther
May 19, 7 p.m.
Opera House
Composed by Jules Massenet
Libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet, and Georges Hartmann
Original production from Opera Australia, owned by Opera de Montreal
Love holds Werther captive, with only one means of escape.
One hundred twenty years after the opera's premiere, Werther is celebrated as Massenet's finest work, with a lush score of tragically beautiful music. The young poet Werther has fallen desperately in love with the beautiful Charlotte. When he discovers that she is honor-bound to marry Albert, he tries to stay away, but his passion draws him back to her. In despair, Werther decides the only way he can find peace is through death.
Adapted from a novel by the Romantic master Goethe, Werther is considered one of Massenet's finest works, filled with richly textured, tragically beautiful music.
Italian tenor Francesco Meli makes his WNO debut as the lovelorn poet Werther, and is joined by mezzo-soprano Sonia Ganassi as Charlotte. Their recent performances of these roles in Italy garnered praise for their chemistry and abilities as singing actors. Chris Alexander directs and WNO favorite Emmanuel Villaume returns to conduct Massenet's masterpiece. Sets designed by Michael Yeargen for Opera Australia. Costumes designed by Barilà for Opéra de Montréal.
Performed in French with English supertitles. Supertitles may not be visible from the rear of the orchestra. The performance runs approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes, with one 20-minute intermission.
RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 30 minutes
